IR Film Review: THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD [A24]
The intention of a myth or at least its story is to either to soften the blow or provide a historical context of what something could be. With “The Death Of Robin Hood”, like a similar story of Odysseus starring Ralph Fiennes called "The Return" a couple years back, it is about deconstructing the idea of a myth. Hugh Jackman, covered in long hair, gristle and world weariness plays Robin Hood hiding himself from the world.
IR Film Review: DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE [Marvel/Disney]
The new R-rated Marvel offering within “Deadpool & Wolverine” isboth interesting, surprising, funny, intense but also very scattered. There is still a scrappy nature to Deadpool but oddly enough what starts out as more subversive becomes less so as it goes along. While there is a kind of dance to this especially with the two leads, it becomes more about Jackman/Reynolds than about Deadpool/Wolverine.
